Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Dietary habits and lifestyle represent a modifiable determinant of health within different socioeconomic contexts and beyond predominant genetic factors within the new holistic vision (exposome). Nowadays, the concept of nutrition therapy may encompass either personalized nutrition for either preventive approaches as well as supporting therapies in disease. The goal of individually tailored interventions is to take out each individual from either the two edges (representing overnutrition and undernutrition, respectively) of the U-shaped associations with “worst” conditions, compared with “better” conditions in states of balanced nutrition.
These two associations are now recognized as “the double burden of malnutrition” (Lancet 2020; 395: 75–88). Within a global health perspective, moving from immigrant displacement to pandemics in different settings, the early exposure to poor living conditions is associated with malnutrition, finally resulting in over-intakes of cheaper, unhealthy foods with an over-intake of energy. This may lead to an increase in the social costs of treating non-communicable disorders, thus limiting the availability of gross domestic product. Accordingly, effective interventions “require major societal shifts extended to the entire global food system” and a deeper knowledge of the mechanisms linking nutrition-associated metabolic pathways with pathogenic biomechanisms, in particular, the cascade of pro-inflammatory mediators.
Considering the success of the previous Special Issue titled " Nutrition Therapy: Personal Diet and Lifestyle and Human Health", we are pleased to announce that we are launching a second Special Issue on this topic.
